Ways to Deposit

Gambling online is convenient and easy. However, one of the key issues is how and where to deposit and withdraw money on the sites.

Options for U.S. players have been limited because of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Act. But many sites still make it easy for U.S. players.

The best sites use Echecks, where players can deposit directly from their checking accounts. Players can also withdraw into their checking accounts. These are quick, efficient and easy. Sites like PokerStars and Full Tilt use this. Many sites still take deposits from check cards and credit cards, but these vary. You simply have to try and find out. After that, these are the options for U.S. players:

Epassporte: This is an online account that you can use to fund your sites. It works like an online credit card.

PokerStars and Full Tilt both accept EPassporte.

Mywebatm: Full Tilt accepts this online credit card.

Moneybookers: Absolut, PokerStars and Bodog accept this one.

Ewallet: Bodog uses this one.

All of these are reliable, but they vary in speed and are not as instant as Echecks.

Players in other countries have many more reliable options, including Neteller, Click2Pay, Firepay and Instadebit.

Wherever you live, it is important to search for all the best deposit options and what works best for you before committing to a Web site.

The U.S. government’s law did not make online gaming illegal; it made it illegal for banks to transfer funds for gaming. However, shrewed sites have found third parties to use, which works around this.

In the Unlawful Internet Act, the U.S. Congress determined the following:
(1) Internet gambling is primarily funded through personal use of payment system instruments, credit cards, and wire transfers.
(2) The National Gambling Impact Study Commission in 1999 recommended the passage of legislation to prohibit wire transfers to Internet gambling sites or the banks which represent such sites.
(3) Internet gambling is a growing cause of debt collection problems for insured depository institutions and the consumer credit industry.
(4) New mechanisms for enforcing gambling laws on the Internet are necessary because traditional law enforcement mechanisms are often inadequate for enforcing gambling prohibitions or regulations on the Internet, especially where such gambling crosses State or national borders.

The Act also defined Unlawful Internet Gambling as this: The term 'unlawful Internet gambling' means to place, receive, or otherwise knowingly transmit a bet or wager by any means which involves the use, at least in part, of the Internet where such bet or wager is unlawful under any applicable Federal or State law in the State or Tribal lands in which the bet or wager is initiated, received, or otherwise made.

This slowed down the Internet boom, but the sites have done a nice job finding ways around it. Some sites will not operate in certain states that expressly declare wagering illegal, but for the most part, U.S. players have more options than ever to deposit their money. In the long run, the law could easily be declared unconstitutional or rescinded completely. Millions of Americans play online, and the potential tax revenue is through the roof. The possibility of making tax dollars should lead to changes in the law. However, in the interim, players should do some research to find the most secure and legal wagering options, and enjoy their online gaming accordingly.

Outside the U.S., Fireplay, Click2Pay and Neteller remain the most reliable. In the U.S., Epassporte and direct deposits to the sites themselves are the best ways to do it.

Either way, there are hundreds of ways to deposit. Just pick the best for you.
